Yet, deficits remain, such as methods for the noninvasive diagnosis of light-chain CA, means to detect CA early, prognostication, monitoring, and therapy response assessment. To address these issues, there has been growing interest in the development and implementation of amyloid-specific radiotracers for PET. The aim of this review is to educate the reader on these novel imaging tracers. Though still investigational, these novel tracers—given their many advantages—are clearly the future of nuclear imaging in CA. ER -
